Why it mattered

An airport never closes. Every phase has to keep passengers moving, aircraft turning and screening working, while the new terminal takes shape beside the old one.

The challenge

A major hub is building a new concourse to absorb record passenger growth.

Airfield paving, baggage systems and airline commitments must be phased around an operation that runs around the clock.

How we kept it on course

Our approach, phase by phase.

The same disciplined sequence we bring to every engagement, shaped around what this project needed most.

PHASE 01PHASE 02PHASE 03PHASE 04

PHASE 01Phase around the flights

Gates, checkpoints and roadways phased so the airport operated normally at every stage.

PHASE 02Align every party

Airlines, security agencies, concessionaires and the operator working from one master schedule.

PHASE 03Test the systems early

Baggage, screening and IT integration testing planned months before opening.

PHASE 04Hand over to operations

Staff training, operational trials and transfer to the operator scheduled to the day.

What changed

The difference we made

Measured the only way that matters: did the project land where we said it would.

Result 01Controls across contracts

Schedule, cost and risk are integrated across every contract package.

Result 02Baggage risk retired early

Baggage system testing is planned months ahead and modeled in 4D.

Result 03Gate dates airlines can use

Airlines receive gate-availability forecasts they can build their own plans on.

Services engaged

What we brought to it

Our work in Aviation

02.02Program Controls

Program-level controls that bind projects, contractors and funding streams into a single governed picture sponsors can steer by.

01.03Integrated Master Scheduling (IMS)

Integrated Master Schedules that connect design, procurement, construction and commissioning into a single program view, traceable from the boardroom summary down to the field.

02.06Earned Value Management (EVM)

Earned value systems that join scope, schedule and cost to measure performance objectively and forecast with evidence.

02.09Forecasting

Risk-informed schedule and cost forecasts that give executives a realistic finish date and final cost, with the confidence stated.

05.034D Planning

Model-linked construction sequencing that exposes logistics and phasing risk, aligns stakeholders and makes the schedule understandable to everyone in the room.
